rww 2H Sq isnn WW VJ Ht Bombiani Steals Show, But Bears Roll On MS Up audi Broncos Lose Tilt I I rrrrt ciimhav in 1 rm 1 I Ami tai 1 By Harry M. Hayward MILWAUKEE, Oct. 28. One untimely fumble cost the Santa Clara Broncos a 21-14 loss at the Gael Mite Runs 96, 91 Yards in 40-25 Battle Penalties Nullify First Sprint, But 2nd Good for TD; Cal Uses Squad of 53 By Prcscott Sullivan MEMORIAL STADIUM, BERKELEY, Oct. 28.

There's only one way to start this story of the forty-third football game between the University of California and St. Mary's College, and that Is with Sam Bombiani, a tiny fellow from Ambridge, Ta. Sam plays halfback for St. Mary's and so he was on the Heinrich's Shots Kill Stanford Bowl Hope Ace Hurls for 243 Yards, Two Scores; Stage Setfor Washlngton-Cal 'Biggie' By Curlcy Grieve STANFORD STADIUM, Oct 28. University of Washington demonstrated today that not all the pinpoint bombing is concentrated in Korea.

With a devastating air attack, the Huskies from the Northwest smothered the last flickering Kose Bowl hopes of the Stanford Indians, 21-7. Don Heinrich, firing short and long with a surveyor's accuracy, hands of Marquette before 14,000 fans in an intersectional clash tonight. And one smashing tackle by Ed Rotticci cost the Broncos the services of that stellar pivot man for the remainder of the season. He fractured his right ankle. The great passing and running of Frank Volm, 204 pound quar terback, proved to be the differ ence.

But there wasn't much differ losing side here this afternoon as the unbeaten, untied Golden ence. It could have been a 14-14 Bears rolled to their thirtieth consecutive regular season victory perforated the Stanford defense nineteen times In twenty-four since 1947, by a score of 40-25. tie. MARQUETTE OUTGAIN'ED. Santa Clara, indeed, outgained But even In defeat it was Sam's show.

You can ask any of th 12,000 who saw it. Even the California guys. They'd be quick to the Golden Avalanche, totaling give little Sam his due and admit that it was this 5 foot inch, ill 1 345 yards in running and passing to 263 for the home town boys. The Broncs made 18 first downs, Marquette 19. The crucial fumble was committed by over-anxious sopho- 143 pound sophomore who swiped the big scenes away from the great big Bears.

He did it by breaking loose for two of th longest touchdown runs of the year. It is true that the first one didn't count, but that only made the second the more dramatic. Little Sam was showing them that they just couldn't keep a good man down. -n' attempts for the touchdown jackpot and a staggering 243 yards. Thus Heinrich, with the superb assistance of Halfback Roland Kirkby, lifted the Huskies to the fore of the Rose Bowl parade with University of California and set the stage for the clash of Huskies and unbeaten Bears next Saturday in Seattle.

Washington, although guilty of a loss to Illinois, is undefeated In the Pacific Coast Conference and certainly, off Its performance today, a prime contender for the championship. It is a solid team with tremendous striking power. And in Heinrich, it has the ace in the hoie that could take the pot. pot. He certainly impressed today's crowd of 36,000, many of which celebrated the storm's passing by sittifij coatless in the sun.

(Continued on Page 32, Col, There He Goes, After a Poor Start It was in the opening period, just after Pete Schabarum had rammed over the first of Cal's six scores, that the mighty mite from the little school in Moraga beyond the hills delivered his initial blast. Taking big Les Richter's kickoff on his own 6 yard line, he began to move following a hesitant start. Twenty yards out, he spun away from Cal's Johnny Peterson, who appeared to have him stopped cold, and then he lit out for the west side of the field. Sam found racing room there and "with gathering speed he went all the way 96 yards to the end zone. It was a cruel break for St.

Mary's that the magnificent run wasn't allowed to stand-more cruel yet when the full cost of the double penalty which flagged little Sam down was finally evaluated with the next play. Two handkerchiefs fluttered behind Bombiani as he ran. One was for offside on Cal. The other was for "clipping" by St Mary's. The two nullified the whole works so Richter tried the kick-off all over again.

Play Doesn't Work Same Way Second Time. Once more little Sam took the ball. This time Richter, who weighs 225, hit him as he reached the Gael 23. Stunned by the blow, little Sam dropped the package and Don Curran recovered on the spot for Cal. He displayed deft ball handling, clever faking, alertness and poise that mark the competent engineer.

And, as a byproduct of his wizardry, he smashed three all-time Washington passing records: most completions in one season, 77; most yardage gained in one season, 1,089, and most completions in one game, the aforementioned nineteen. The Huskies outplayed the Indians in virtually every department. Hitting Stanford in obvious weak spots, the men of Coich Howie Odelfdropped passes just over the line in the first half, came back with long shots for two touchdowns in the second half and sent such fine running backs as Kirkby, Hugh McElhenny, Jack Seth and Bill Earley off tackle, around end or smashing up the middle. Heinrich's Unerring Arm Decisive But it was Heinrich's unerring arm that inflicted the hurricane damage. With the Indians unable to hurry his actions, he slapped rifle bullets five yards or waited patiently until glue-fingered In five more plays, the Bears had their second TD.

Thus, instead of getting anything out of Bombiani's gallop, the Gaels receivers broke into the open and then drew a bead on them. Outside of two lightning-like flashes, the Indians didn't have a (Continued on Page 31, CoL 2) chance. Gary Kerkonan, Tom Shaw and Dick Horn muffed repeat 51 rdly in their pitches. The running game was inconsistent and lilt Market Stratt Shoe 9:30 5:30, Maaeeys till p.m. TUkeaMHl 4, failed to sparkle until track man Bob Bryan flashed in the second half.

In Stanford's behalf, this can be said. It blanked the Huskies CRASH LANDING CAL TD! Pete Schabarum scores standing on his hand. Spectacular picture shows the Cal back holding on to the ball (arrow) over the goal line even though upended by a devastating block thrown by for one desperate half and its defensive lire, with Jesse Cone and John Henry Johnson of St. Mary's.

And it should be pointed out that three new comers to the varsity, Ends Ronald Eadie and Marv Tennefoss and Tackle Jim Vlck, delivered some critical stops.

But Stanford was up against a team with superior attacking weapons, including a bombardier with a Sperry bombsight, and Rams9 Rally Whips Dons! that was that.
